@APBA-GO-Jeremy said in Release 2.4.0:

@RobNPR Pedro is having issues but otherwise the platform is stable.
However, as you may have read in my first post in this thread, the team will be completely re-factoring the game engine in Q1 of the New Year. While this will not have an effect on functionality, introducing the new code into the wild will bring with it bugs that do not exist today.
If I was considering running a league or w/e on the platform I would definitely do it. But it’s a live product, and I understand what that means in terms of potential disruptions. Your comfort level may vary.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Thanks for the quick response. We have run a 16 team league on the platform for aa few years now. We don’t use Pedro will take your other caustion under advisement.

WEEK 8

(9 of 10)

SOUTHAMPTON 1 - NIL NEW CASTLE
Southampton (3-3-1) vs New Castle U (3-2-2)

SOUTHAMPTON (TR2; DEF 3) vs NEW CASTLE (TR 2; DEF 2)

Sometimes it is better to be very lucky than good. Case in point - Southampton’s 1- Nil victory over NewCastle United at St. Mary’s Stadium with 32,505 delirious Southampton fans left happily stunned. With the tick on the clock a lonh header by Southampton was redirected in the wrong direction by Newcastle Midfielder, Jonjo Shelvey. The ball whizzed by stunned Newcastle Goalkeeper ,KArl Darlow as time expired. It was an “Own Goal” for Shelvey.

Southampton now sits with Burnley tied for third, both with 15 points.

in step play MG it would help a lot if the pitcher grade changed with the next batter. Right now the pitcher grade changes to the next batter before the “step” kicks in and moves to the next hitter

When you play away games solitare on tablet, game put team on home side have to start game on pc if i want to play solitare away game

@rbstrat115 Yes.

@apba-go-jeremy That would seem to work as long it is also a flag when forfeiting a game

TRIBE BACK ON WARPATH

@RobNPR
Thanks Jeremy! Its Christmas!!!

Reds, Arizona, Mets

@APBA-GO-Jeremy thank you Jeremy

Congrats Randy!

@HOFfridge Thanks!

Fixed it last night.

Jeremy

Impressive results, the most important indicator of the offense (runs) was just about on target. I played the the 57 season for awhile on BBW and the White Sox gave the Yanks all kinds of problems…

@RandySteinman Very entertaining. Thank you!

Thanks, @RonNichols. I am now onto my next project. 128 GTOP teams, broken down into eight 16-team brackets (ie. Cobb Division 1901-1917, Ruth Division 1918-1935, etc, right up to Pujols 2008-2019).
Each bracket is a triple-knockout. The eight eventual winners will then square off in a final triple-knockout division to determine the champion.
All on APBA GO. I try to play a game or two a day, as my schedule allows. Great fun.

@striker2550 We will not be changing the name ;)

Just tap the credit amount, it will bring up a number pad and you can enter a value.

We tried a slider but it’s super inaccurate.

Enjoy,
Jeremy

I will give it 1 more day till I have to just play the winner’s bracket.

The All Star Break has arrived. Here are the standings; note: A few teams have played a couple of more games than others because coordinating schedules wasn’t easy. :)

**East Division**

1905 New York Giants 59-19
2019 Washington Nationals 40-38
1979 Pittsburgh Pirates 37-40
1969 New York Mets 34-43
1980 Philadelphia Phillies 33-44
1997 Florida Marlins 29-48

**Central/West Division**

1907 Chicago Cubs 45-32
1942 St. Louis Cardinals 43-37
1957 Milwaukee Braves 41-36
1976 Cincinnati Reds 40-38
2001 Arizona Diamondbacks 33-44
1963 Los Angeles Dodgers 31-46

Obviously, the Central/West Division race is more compelling because the '05 Giants are just ridiculous. They have a team batting average of .309. .309!! Their 521 runs scored are over 100 more than the Big Red Machine of 1976 (394). Either their cards are flawed compared to their actual stats, or they are getting the best run of random computer dice rolls ever. Dan McGann, the current favorite for MVP hit .299 in 1905 with 5 homeruns, 14 triples, 23 doubles, 75 RBI, and a .825 OPS. McGann after 78 games? .375, 10 homeruns, 11 triples, 18 doubles, 97 RBI, 1.033 OPS. Oh and 20 stolen bases too. Good grief. Here are the other All-Stars:

2B: Joe Morgan: .281, 16 HR, 62 RBI, 76 runs scored, 41 steals, 1.000 OPS.

3B: Mike Schmidt: .240, 21 HR, 62 RBI, .891 OPS

SS: Bill Dahlen: .277, 45 RBI, 45 runs scored, 24 SBs

OF: Mike Donlin: .436, 70 RBI, 67 runs scored, 19 stolen bases, 1.046 OPS.

OF: George Foster: .299, 14 HRs, 66 RBI, 46 runs scored, 18 stolen bases.

OF: Henry Aaron: .286, 24 HRs, 61 RBI, 51 RBI, .909 OPS

C: Roger Breshnahan: .318, 78 runs scored, 26 stolen bases.

SP: Johnny Beazley: 11-4, 1.98 ERA, .140 OBA
